Archive (ZIP) Feature Representation

Archive features have no geometry.

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format also adds format-specific attributes (Format Attributes).

If the Retrieve File Properties reader parameter is set to No, the value will be <missing>.

zip_archive_format

The format of the archive deduced from the file contents, not the file extension.
